Respect estimates by Jarek Ratajski

„Software is hard” was written by Donald Knuth. We however, make it even harder by focusing our efforts in the wrong directions. Quite often, because we think(!) we follow good practices. What we do is a cult, sometimes even a „cargo cult”. In the talk, I will present some examples of waste and cults that we do in everyday activities. This includes estimates, tests, agile meetings, and architecture of our systems. We continue doing some practices, even though we have completely lost the original intention or the world has changed so much that they are not needed anymore.
